Description

First-class cover art had never been viewed as a necessary competitive edge for an all-sports publication until the advent of Baseball Magazine. Its writers would be the best the sport had to offer and the eye appeal of the covers would compete on the newsstand with the best general interest publications. Through its first decade Baseball Magazine proved an artistic and commercial success, reaching a six-figure circulation.
